Is this even mentioned in the article? I was reading and reading and thinking "this is all moot, you can't do anything with GPT-3 because you can't run it yourself". Seeing how much money this level of AI is worth, I think OpenAI's incentives are skewed at best at this point.
- allencheng 6y agoAuthor here, I discuss aspects of this in the "Economies of Scale" section - if you're existentially dependent on a supplier, that supplier has leverage to squeeze you hard. The counterforce will be development of similar algos by AWS, Google, and others; and OpenAI's personal balance of volume vs prices. OpenAI has a monopoly now but it won't in a year or two; I'm sure they're planning for this.
